This is true, but I'd like to take this time to reinforce the fact that I do know the difference between the frontside and backside of processors. (See Sig)

I haven't seen this mentioned, but aother issue that's always a pain in the ass is the wires that go from the case to the motherboard (power switch, reset switch, power LED, HDD LED), make sure you know exactly how these cables go into the designated slots on your motherboard before you put any cables (IDE, SATA, mobo power, whatever might be nearby) surrounding them in.

I built my first computer this year, I'm 15.
Isn't that hard, just don't rush yourself or bend or force things.

Lol when Lettuce said Runcorn I was like "What the fuck that ain't 35 miles from Ireland" Then I realized you live in Manchester nothing too it Ted you will figure it out everything slots in place nice and easy. Just relax and take it nice and easy and remember to be patient, the only thing I would worry about most is putting the processor in.
